  • Found this by accident because I thought the original song was this mix of cute and hilarious and was in the mood for it... this, though, really gives the track dimensions I never dreamed of. I'd never have believed that it would actually really get to me. Thank you, for making this.

  • @crocutable Thanks so much!  Yes, I get equal amounts of hate and love mail for this one. Glad it hit you in the right spot - that's the one I was aiming for.

  • I am glad to have found this video again after looking for it for many years... the title is quite elusive. I think the film says so much, and those who do not get it, they never will.

  • me a dado miedo xD

  • fuck you . This shit is a bummer and stupid

  • @goldielocksposition: If you don't like it, go over to Newgrounds and play with the clinically retarded 20-something children there. You'll never do anything 1/100th this good.

  • touching

    

  • who does that!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

  • Heartbreaking. If only I could go on that planet and give that little bunny a big hug before she decided to take her own life... what will become of her little planet now? Her cat that she left behind? Certainly her life is not as meaningless as she thinks it is...

    I love what you've done with this Negativland track, it really hit a raw nerve. Suicide and depression is something I've struggled with, and certainly thought about. Thank you for making this short. Cheers.

  • @singinglawnchair Thanks for posting your comment! Yes, those who have peered over the dark abyss of self-annihilation don't seem to require much in the way of explanation for this video. And, as you may know from the previous comments, part of why I made this was because of a dear friend who DID commit suicide. Thanks for watching, and double thanks for considering it and responding so thoughtfully.

  • i really do have a problem with how this child's voice is used like this. i think its a wonderful song i've always enjoyed off 'escape from noise' & very well done video. but is the kid aware of this?

  • @anthonyblistex This recording was made so long ago that this girl is about 30 years old now. So I don't think there is too much issue about a little girl being traumatized by the film.

    It's funny - I've seen the piece in front of numerous children of many ages - many of them as young as the singer was when she sang this version. Parents freak out pretty consistently, but the kids seem to "get it" really easily. I've never seen one get more than just a bit sad.

  • @nakedrabbit whose Hiccups were those? they were cute.

  • A masterpiece.

  • Dear nakedrabbit:

    Everything about this is perfect. The tiny little planet with so little on it. The running that turns the tiny little planet, while she makes no real progress. The way the tree appears from nowhere, as if she created it from her thoughts. The hiccups she can't shake--how one's body/mind can become alien. The song that seems to be her touchstone, rubbed smooth and familiar. The sudden silence. The cat she left behind.

    Harsh. Tender. You know, that's the way it goes.

  • @angie23rodriguez1 Wow! Thanks so much for the kind words! As you might figure, a project like this draws out the haters in full force. It's so nice to read your comments and know that this little film sometimes hits the mark and people come away with more than I even put into it... even *I* see more than I put into it....

  • @angie23rodriguez1 You've hit the nail right on the head, I think.

  • I find it amusing how offended people become when they watch this, it is art, and obviously the creator of the video made it the way it is for a reason.

  • Sounds like a drunk child.

  • This video is very educative for the children. You can see that the rabbit had a psychological trouble with his life. He kept his solitude in his like and he can just evacuate his pain with the only solution... the suicide in fact, in the death. Doctory in mental psychologic.

  • crumbs......

    absooobloodylutely completely endearing

    sooo sad..... a masterpiece ....

    one of the bestest animations iv seen on this tube thing

    whhhyyyyy ohhhh whhhhyyy caaant eyyyyyye ....

  • this is the sweetest video EVER !!!  <3

  • This was fucking amazing, I never stop laughing

  • creepy and sad, but good work, I ditto ironbuttermilk's comments

  • @jesuslovesblackmetal Yes, I have those two minutes for you here in my office. Please send an SASE and they will be returned to you.

  • Sorry but it's really upsetting to me. Perhaps it's because i listened and shared the song so often with children. And was so happy to see the animation and was poised to share it.

    Hurts. Sorry to keep railing on you but, poor choice.

    and I suppose approriate for NEGATIVE land...

  • @ARCHERPAPA Sounds like you understand this film completely. Based ojn your response I can tell it's doing everything it is supposed to. Sorry it's making you feel bad, but keep in mind, it's painful for me, too. Thanks for watching.

  • WHY?

  • I love this song and have loved it for many years and was about to send it to all the children and mother and fathers of children for how sweet and wonderful it is and I CAN"T... but I really think you should take a look at your friend's death as a sign to rethink the ending of this...

    very disappointing, and very sad for me. it would have made a lot of people very happy. I will share the song however and try to forget this film.

  • Awesome! Let me see it once again... It's addictive...

  • this video makes me feel really sad, but i love it nevertheless. it's just creepy and strange, and has a slight old children's programme quality which is why its so shocking when the rabbit diees!

  • AAA+++

  • Damn, this is heavy!!!

  • The first time I watched this, I was just passively viewing it, then for the last thirty seconds, I sat up straight in my chair and was filled with tension.

    The second time, I noticed the first shot of them looking up at the moon, and for the entire viewing I felt dread and pity.

  • This is gut wrenching.

  • Yes- disturbing.

    Another ending...

    Maybe needs hiccup at very end...there's no cure!

    Or the other animal hiccups, Oh no.

  • Ouch. That cuts deep.

  • this makes me really upset and sort of disturbed.

  • I must confess, I've been fascinated with this video for a long time, but I haven't commented on it until now. Unless my memory is worse than I thought. Anyways, I think you got it just right. I love how it pushes the boundaries a little, but doesn't bend or break them. It's the kind of thing that could almost maybe possibly be accepted as sort of normal.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow; I have "The Hiccups". And I am not sure why....and I can kind of understand this.

  • hahahahahahaha die bunny die!!!! >:D

  • uuuummmmmm, yea its goood. just wasnt expecting it thats all. your gonna get alot of random comments from this video, its expected because of the unexpected.

  • Comment removed

  • Negativland - Escape From Noise (1987)

    Is the Album and Artist

    Over the Hiccups is the song name

  • really good work people! this track was a "wtf?" element on the album... stood by itself. this adds something new, and does it right. brilliant.

  • that was horriable! too sad

  • no mames osn mamadas

  • it kind of reminds me of how some people who decide to commit suicide live a short period of relief between the time they decide to do it and their death. It can be really suprising to see someone pop out of a depression and get back on their feet only to take their life a month later...

  • Loved it.

    I have no negative comments or judgments to make about it. It's effective.

  • That was awful, the little girl who sang that sounded so cute! why did they ruin it with this?

  • that wasnt scary att all

  • this is something I've never seen before, it's weird, kinda dadaist art... Whoa it freaks me so much, I don't even have words for this... The voice, the hiccups, the planet (or was it a moon with another moon?) and her death, it's so sad... didn't expect her to die, she had no reasons to do it...

  • we didn't know her reasons!!

    maybe cause she was dying already from lack of oxygen, or cause she was a rabbit that could talk!

    ha, i'm kidding of course.

    but i do like negativeland,

    and the oddball in me liked the video too. hehe

  • It's so sad...I acually feel sorry...

  • I love this. This is my favorite one. The ending is so sad but the mouse was so cute.

  • Woah... WTF!?

  • No video has ever affected me like this one has.

    I just don't know what to say.

  • O__o What just happened?

  • i cant believe im laughing

  • lol

  • Haha thanks for the vid. I have no idea who did the vocals on this Escape From Noise classic, but I have no idea if the kid will be impressed or humiliated upon hearing this for the first time as a teenager. The kid has to be over 20 by now.

  • Trouser Press Record Guide (in the 80s) reviewed their stuff and said one member of the band worked in a day care center, so that would explain where they got the kid's voice from.

  • I LOVE KPFA

  • that's the raddest shit i've ever seen, fuckin' hilarious

  • love the effects, and artwork of your videos.

  • This song is played in the beginning of The Wizard of Oz :x <-- i just wanted to say that but eniway this vid makes me cry =/

  • Thats fucked up man

  • It's very depressing, but I know it's got meaning behind it and I appreciate that.

  • This is a wonderful animation and I loved the way you used the child's voice. I'm a primary school teacher and I've been working with children to create animations. Why not check them out. 'The Sad Princess' & 'A Right to Life'....Cheers

  • Its very sweet and bitter at the same time.

    Well done you.

  • I've watched this thing several times, it's fascinating and puzzling. I always wonder who the child is who's singing and what they think of what's been done with their voice.

    I sometimes think that the rabbit is singing out of some hope that suicide will free her from the loneliness of this tiny, far flung planet into a better world beyond death.

  • I have always loved this Negativland track from "Escape from Noise." When I see what Naked Rabbit has done to it I don't know whether to laugh or cry. It brings up a raw, undifferentiated emotional response. Many years ago someone I knew strung himself up from a tree just like that. Life is interesting. Funny and sad at the same time.

  • 50% of all suicides are committed while under the influence of alcohol.

  • This is my favorite video on youtube.

  • i agree with the real grey,it's just sad,but if it wouldn't be too much trouble??it seems like such a sweet bunny,it could have the cat bite the rope,and a flying animal appears and takes the cat and bunny somewhere where she wanted to go.please &thank you!

  • Thanks to all of you who are responding to this video. It's very sweet of all you to worry about the bunny and what happens to her - in fact it confirms I must have done something right or you would not care at all!

    Of course I cannot end it differently, though even I wish the bunny did not end as she does. The point would be lost completely, and that feeling of sadness, important to me as I did lose a friend in this way, would also be lost.

  • you lost a friend that way?poor thing,you and your friend...now i understand it.

  • Depresses the hell out of me every time. The innocent little voice of the bunny character, and yet it must have been so sad and alone. Singing that song almost as if happy to finally be going, but in the realms of child-like nostalgia as well. And the little pause at the end with the cat looking expectantly.

    I know suicide isn't always the best option but it angers me when people say it's the cowardly/easy way out.

  • it's so classical...<3

  • this is going to give me nightmares for sure.

  • and I'm talking to 94tennischick94.

  • Don't give tennis chick too hard a time! She and I have emailed about this already, and had a good conversation!

  • well, still she's retarted...lol

  • hey devon it magda

  • you can get the new dvd on their website.

  • great. how on earth did you catch so much in so little??? in wonderment, C

  • cute sad and funny, beautiful!

  • no offence, but why did the bunny kill herself? and why did she have hiccups?

  • you have NO artistic values if u can't figure that out, retard. you need some counciling...retard.

  • You have truly captured the essence of our existence here on the planet.......seriously, I find this totally amusing in a macabre way. The darling singing voice of the bunny is just superb - especially when she can't remember the words.

  • Was loving it until you ended blessed bunnies life....should have told it to drink some water backwards!

  • that was awesome, who made it? has anyone posted it to mark hosler yet? i'd be interested to hear his comments.

  • wow.

    that was so well done on so many levels.

    i especially liked the retro feel with the crackle sounds and all.

  • I loved it. Cant express it much beyond that, but I still have that little girls voice stuck in my head.

  • heart breakingly sentimental boo hoo whaaa you brought a tear to my eye...

  • the cat is all like: WTF?

  • errr dts weird

  • suicidal because she couldn't go under a rainbow. how sad.

  • i dont get it! the friggen bunny killed itself, it was wierd! I'm sorry, i liked cat head therter, but this was sad!

  • i knew something bad would happen...that was so sad, seriously, it made me cry, i can't stand little kids dying, but i loved the movie anyways

  • man that is weird! it's all happy then sad! the bunny killed itself to get over it's hiccups! crazy!

  • Deliciously demented. It was cute and then twisted. Loved it.

  • I've watched this several times now, and I can safely say that you are an amazing film-maker. The film class at my school made a stop motion animation, and I thought it was excellent, but this just...wow...this is just amazing. It's adorable yet so macabre.

  • Brilliant!!!!! One of my favorites by you!!

  • Brilliant! One of my favorites by you!!!!!!!

  • oddly depressing, strangely cute, and FREAKIN WIERD!

    love it, tho

  • I got a comment that I wasn't able to access, concerning this site, but I must say I like all the naked rabbit stuff.

  • U must b troubled but u can freak a person out... nice!!

  • it was super cute but sad.

  • yea,i agree!

  • You need to go to a medical university where there are several teams of scientists and physicians 24 hours a day to study and document your condition.

  • wow thats kind of mean to say dont u think?i mean im not being mean but i sure wouldnt want to be this person!

  • 69Twinz69 wrote: "im not being mean but i sure wouldnt want to be this person!"

    You mean you would not want to be me? Yes, I can assure you that is correct.

  • I think he means the bunny with the hiccups..I could be wrong though..by the way wonderful video..I was really irked by the ending though..still wonderful work

  • chill out and read the description...it was a dedication..it was wonderful work too..I would put money down that you cant do something as well done as that

  • How can a single piece be this cute, creepy, and sad at the same time? <:P

    Favorited once more.

  • ...

    I was almost crying there man...what's so sad about this?

    Amazing video though, of course.

  • uh....sudicadal bunny child u are sick man I LOVED IT <3!!

  • Cute

  • That's deep...It says a lot more than just what you see..Wow..I like it..

  • Silly rabbit, scucide is for kids. Who's going to feed the cat now???

  • oh,ur right poor cat!

  • umm ok..im not sure what just happened...who's gonna take care of the cat?

  • i know poor kitty!

  • The song is on Negativland's "Escape From Noise" album. I highly recommend it.

    Otherwise, this video is lame. Someone placed an audio over a video...ooooo, crafty.

  • Wouldn't that be a great epitaph"WOW intense" ?

    I love naked Rabbit but these comments make me cry I laugh so hard there like; Wow Intense!

  • omg freaking sad maan

  • Made me go "Oh shit!" when I realized what was going on.

  • Have you ever heard of the Brothers Quay? This reminded me of them so nicely! :D I loved it.

  • ahahahahahaha

  • naaaw :(

  • I wanna cry :(

  • Sorry.... man...

  • Wow! Intense...

  • i thought she was going to rope the moon and bring it down.. obviously i was wrong.

  • That was fantastic, keep up the great work.

  • My sincere condolences. The video is remarkable. Thanks for the post.

  • The black background and the tiny planet create a sense of isolation, as that of the atomized consumer within late stage capitalism. The rabbit walks the surface over and over, as if in a hamster wheel. Everything exists on the surface, without depth. Repetition becomes the only cancerous goal of mass production. There is nothing new under the sun. All original possibilities are lost and the only authentic act, the only way to escape the totality of this absurd existence becomes death.

  • that is deep. sorry about Angie.

  • Dude,I feel like crying.

  • nooooo!! the poor thing!!

  • OMG. What is your problem?!? It was so cute. my baby sister started to watch and then OMG... the ending.

  • disturbing.

  • cute in a morbid way

  • well done.. but so disturbing it's not even funny.. which i guess is the point.

  • LOL. Did not see that ending coming.

  • your video - fav'rit of mine - rest are not well

  • Oh the colors we weave to our skies that we may move on thru. Brilliant, sad, sublime...ok, I'll stop now

  • That went kinda deep.

  • Thats twisted...

  • this is such a cool/creepy video

  • It was cute but ended so poorly and sadly...why did you end such a sweet life of a bunny sweetly singing so poorly? What a shame :( Kids would enjoy this...but now...they can't watch. Adults certainly don't want to watch this crud. "L"

  • i love this, please tell me how u made the puppet, was it wire or ball and socket? also the lip synch was it replasement heads? i just started my major 3rd yr animation film and needing serious technical advice. thanks x

  • It's nice, but I hope that's not a child's voice. That'd be pretty traumatizing.

  • my god!!! It's sad, it's unique (as are all the movies you do) and it's linked with a bitter coincidence. You're going mega!

  • Great video...Sad...

  • i loved it, lol, tho the bunny killed its self, it was still kool :P

  • I think she knew what she was doing.  She hanged herself to get rid of the damn hiccups!!!

  • Very good stuff. I think that those who think it sick or disturbing have never stepped close enough to the abyss to see the infinite depths or hear the howling winds. There is a lot to say here that cannot be said in just a few words. The vid, with it's thousands of pictures with a thousand words says it so much more eloquently - sadness, regret, irony, frustration... sadness.

  • Your emo kid.

  • I prefer "aesthetic". :-)

  • Dude, that was sick. you are sick. sickening. And this is disturbing.

  • it wasnt intended to be sick. Some people just dont get art.

  • Yes of course. A bunny either commiting suicide or accidentally dying is sooooooo not sick. and singing over the rainbow makes so much sense too. of course its art.

  • LIFE is disturbing. Art is sometimes a reflection of life. Makes more sense now, doesn't it?

  • Who's kid did the singing. So beautiful.

  • Absolutely stunning work.

  • I'm speechless.

  • OMG that was so disturbing.

    Thank you.

  • great vid

  • You just made my day. Great work indeed!

  • i've been trying to find video like this for years. amazing. truely special.

  • I can't believe people think that isn't a happy ending. I smiled and smiled.

  • wow
